I really hate this talking point.
I've posted on here many many times, that the one thing that Black people want the police to be able to do, and the one thing that they are awful at doing, is solving murders. Solving murders doesn't require *any* increase in police budget, and in fact, decreasing police budget helps. 🙂🙃
Because you can't solve murders in a community that (wisely) doesn't trust you, because you brutalize it without consequence.
Black folk want murders solved.
